Manufacturing

A LONG PATH FULL OF METICULOUS STEPS: THESE ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE EXCLUSIVE MODELS OF CARLOS SANTOS SHOES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

It all starts with the creativity of those who make the first drawing on paper. This first step is followed by the selection of raw materials of the highest quality from France and Italy. From this moment until they are completed, Carlos Santos Shoes go through a process that may require more than 200 artisanal operations and where machines are always used as a complement to manual labor.

At the end, in order for models to maintain their shape and appearance over time, each shoe is left to rest for a few days.

Goodyear Welted, Blake and Bologna are the building systems commonly utilized by the brand, which make it one of the most exclusive in the world. Thus, by the hands of more than a hundred Portuguese craftsmen operating in the north of the country, our works of art reach the four corners of the world.

THE BRAND

Established in 1942, Carlos Santos is based in the North of Portugal and has a long experience of innovating in products for men. Even today, Carlos Santos is one of the few Portuguese companies in the area to apply the Goodyear Welted system, a manual technique in which machines play a secondary role.
